eRNs and what a satisfaction il Is TO us to
know how well we please and satisfy our Gus
tomers-every one. We couldn't tell you how
much we were patronized, but we do know
that all the liye-long week trade was lively,
and the ~liveliest kind of &" lively The intense
interest that's manifested in our dedartments
means that we arc winning new patrons by
hundred. Surely they came from somewhere
somebody's losing trade whilst we are In
creasing ours. The custom of making presents
is as old as man. 1t is not like other pleasant
attributes, the product OF civilization lit is
rather the offspring of love, the divinity Of
human nature Itself. At all times and In all
nations. and undera all circumstances. gratitude
has found expression in gifts with christians.
The custom obtains more at this season than
at any other: that touch Of natdre I" which
makes the whole world akin, is felt more pal
pably now than at any other time. The ad-
vent of Christmas draws us closer together
and soothes those selfish wrinkles which the
stern reality of everyday life comes upon our
natures, the end of this week. and we will find
ourselves in the embrace of the grandest and
most glorious festival in the christian calen-
dar. Let up prepare to enjoy 1t as we have be-
fore suggested. AS the season Is drawing TO a
close, we have made up our minds to close out
all our seas0nable stock at very low prices.

LIQUOR selling enforced in our city. Accordingly a
surprise party was planned and on the evening
named large delegation of white ribboned
women invaded the home of Mrs, Wentworth and
presented their regards to Mr. Mitchell, he hav-
ing been invited there to spend the evening.
Alter a few moments spent in music and social
converse one of the ladies withdrew from the
Coughs sunlight and Shadows which she pre-
scented TO MI Mitchell in behalf of the w. c. T.
U, as token'of their hearty appreciation of his
temperance work. Refreshments were then
served, after which the gathering broke up with
the Temperance Doxology.
II Mr.. Mitchell acted purely in self de-
fence, the courts of the State will undoubted-
ly confirm this expression of confidence; il

did not so act proper punishment may teach
him that one should not go to extremes, even

From stories In the local papers of Belfast
it appears that Mitchell, the young school
master who shot the rumseller on the night
OF the fire, is well meaning young man who
is apt to be over-zealous in good cause A
few weeks ago crazy young man named
Priest, whose mania was to starve himself,
was confined in Belfast Jail. The Age relates
that Mitchell, without any consultation with
Priests parents or the physician prepared
mixed mess Of food, went to the Jail at
night, obtained admission to Priests room
through the night turnkey and then and
there attempted to force the food down his
throat" He even overpowered the crazy
man, seized him by the nose, and thus forced
the 1000 down his throat, treating him, the
Age says, much as they treat sick horse"
Priest died few days after; and his parents
$50 the Age says think that Mitchell's treat
ment fastened the end. A man who would do
such thing as this must have extravapant
notions of his duty; and he vely likely car
ried the same Incorporate zeal into his war
against the liquor traffic. The temperance
people Of Belfast evidently sustain him in
his action on the night of the fire, or at least
acquit him of any criminal intent. On the
fifteenth Instant, three days after the shoot
ing, they took means to testify TO their con
hdence, as is'shown by the following local in
the Belfast Journal Of this week:
A pleasant gathering took place Wednesday
evening, June 10Th, at the home Of Rev. B. c.
wentworth. The members of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union have for some time

forward and complete justification of it:
ordered the flags to be raised in honor of
Queen who has reigned over her people for
90 years, and Queen whe was our friend in
the trying times of civil war. 1t Is within

to join with the French government in the

Three Of the directors of the Fidelity Ma
tonal Bank of Cincinnati are directly re-
sponsible for the collapse of that institution
inasmuch as they loaned the banks money
that was lost in the wheat deal which pre-
cipitated the failure. They are undoubt-
eddy on the high road to the penitentiary.
The other directors. it is alleged, have been
guilty OF negligence in not keeping them
selves informed as to the condition OF the
bank, and: civil suits are to be brought
against them on that ground. Perhaps if
these directors are mulcted by heavy fines it
may serve the useful purpose of awakening
directors of like institutions to a realizing
sense of the fact that they are something
more than honorary officers and are expected
to know something about their banks.

Mr.. Foster, the Dominion minister of fish,
cries, says the reports that American fisher
men in large numbers are fishing inside the
three mile limit, are untrue. Along some
portions of the coast it is very difficult to fix
the limit exactly and sometimes the Ameri-
cans get over the line unintentionally; but
he Is satisfied that the number of American
fishermen who knowingly and Intentionally
break the treaty is very small The cruisers,
Mr.. Foster admits, are not numerous enough
to effectually guard the coast so that if
Americans were disposed to trespass they
could do SO frequently with little danger. But
American fishermen have always been per-
~ willing to observe that part of the treaty,
because they recognized its validity, and if
there were no cruisers at all there would
probably be little violation of it. American
fishermen don't want the Canadians fish.
In all the seizures made by the Dominion
cruisers last summer only one, we believe.
was for fishing within the three mile limit.
